USA (Obsolete/Civil War) – Bank of the State of South Carolina – 25 Cents – February 1, 1863 – Palmetto Tree Vignette A fascinating piece of American history featuring an obsolete Civil War-era fractional note issued by The Bank of the State of South Carolina in Charleston. Dated Feb. 1, 1863, this historical note was printed during the height of the American Civil War when metal coinage vanished from circulation, forcing local banks and states to issue fractional paper currency. The obverse features prominent, striking typography and a central vignette showcasing the symbolic South Carolina Palmetto Tree with a shield at its base. It bears a hand-signed signature on the cashier line. The reverse features crisp red text stating "Twenty-five" and "Issued under Act Feb., 1863." with the obverse design showing through the thin paper as typical for these issues.
